Bobcat Co. commercialized the battery-powered, electric ZT6000e zero-turn mower.
Powered by a 20.4-kWh, lithium-ion battery, the ZT6000e produces zero emissions and delivers productive run times in commercial applications, according to the company.
“The ZT6000e is designed for both lawn care professionals and other businesses that want to create their own professional-grade results in a more sustainable way,” said Daniel Stibral, Bobcat grounds maintenance product specialist. “It’s highly maneuverable, efficient and takes on challenging mowing tasks with precision, ease and the perfect cut.”
On a single charge, the ZT6000e provides up to eight hours* of run time and mows up to 23.8 acres**, depending on conditions. This machine can be fully recharged in 6.3 hours with a 240-volt connection, or in 12.6 hours using a 120-volt connection. Apart from routine recharge cycles, the powerful lithium-ion battery requires no maintenance for the life of the machine.
The mower is built from heavy-duty, dual-tubed steel framing for maximum durability.
It features three drive response modes, swift travel speeds and a comfortable command station with a high-back deluxe suspension seat and a smart, intuitive control layout. The three drive response modes allow operators to choose how the ZT6000e responds to the movement of the lap bars. Whether operators like a more gradual response, quick and instant feedback or a response somewhere in between, three drive response modes offer customization for greater productivity.
The ZT6000e is equipped with the AirFX cutting system, delivering a cut above the rest. The cutting system’s deep profile and bullnose design create a powerful vacuum that lifts grass to the blade for a razor-sharp, uniform cut, resulting in a professional finish.
Three independent electric motors provide high and low blade speeds to make quick work of both heavy and light mowing conditions. Operators can change the blade speed on the go to meet the mowing conditions to get more mowing done in less time.
Additional features include:
- On-board charger that accepts either 120-volt or 240-volt connections
- 4.3-inch touch display
- Productive travel speeds up to 10.9 mph
- Ergonomic controls
- Wide selection of accessories for professional-grade results
The ZT6000e is available with either a 52-inch or 61-inch deck at select Bobcat dealers across the U.S. and Canada.
*Times and acreage will vary depending on conditions.
**23.8 acres assumes 100% efficiency, i.e., straight-ahead operation with no overlap, 61-inch deck at 9 mph.
